Kirk. On some cosmic level you have asked a very fair question. On a more practical level however we need context. For instance.

Are you now or have you ever been a practicing Druid
.
Do you own a chain saw.

Are you related by blood or marriage to any one named Weyerhauser.

Are you more likely to tear up at;
a. Hearing a recital of George Pope Morris’s “Woodman Spare That Tree.
b. Hearing that Pope and Talbot have closed a paper mill.

Yay! neighborhood pics from before the trees took over. I miss being able to see several blocks away, or some of my views of ‘overtown’ that have been blocked away by trees.

Can a city have too many trees?

Wait, cars in the driveway? You mean, even back then consumerism had overtaken the garage? Or were the cars so big that they would never have fit in those little Model T garages?

I lived on 32nd & Schuyler, right near Kienow’s. Back then the houses on our block were selling for $15,000 or less. Now, how about $500,000?

I remember girls setting their perms with empty orange juice cans.

Oh my gosh. Skateboarding without shoes? $10 says none of those cars had seatbelts either!.

My aunt lived right there in the sixties… I think I can see her house. The picture isn’t sharp enough to recognize the kids though.
